Thanks Bruce. I think I'll give it a try!

I would not worry about those dog bones, Doug. Sure, they could go at the worst time, but I have played the Carter I picked up three years ago and dozens of gigs and never give it a moments thought.

I thought it was the "Kroger" neck.....

But "Bread" neck makes the point pretty well!

I've been feeling the need for a relatively inexpensive, lightweight 12" combo amp as a grab and go for rehearsals, lessons, and such. I thought the DV Mark Jazz 12 would do it for me, but it nev ...

Doug: Bread crumbs notwithstanding, how do you like the Carter?

Quick shout out to Leigh Pollari for the new cover for my Excel D-10. I liked the cover she made for my Sho Bud super pro enough to order a second cover from her for my newly acquired Excel. The mate ...

Hey Jeremy, PM sent on the George L 10-1.

Actually, after I finally was in a band that did this tune, I ended up playing it the way Clete suggested.

Thanks everybody for the feedback. Sounds like I shouldn't stress too much about this, and I'll go ahead and leave the steels where I need them.

Last year, I began leaving a steel and rig set up at my monthly gig. It is a safe space and the owners (whom I play with) were fine with my leaving everything there since I could easily move it back ...

Thank you, Michael. And, Hallelujah!!

Sold! Donation coming.

Please close.

Sale pending.

This came with my Carter when I bought it a few years ago. I haven't used, and can't see when I will, so off it goes. Inside dimensions are 32" long, 10.5 wide, and 4+" deep (a little hard ...

With good advice from Larry Allen and Mike Vallandigham I was able to get that axle out and give the E9 changer a proper bath. I only learned after reassembling the E9 side that, at least on this ver ...

It's that somehow the exact same setup that produces a half tone raise with the old strings suddenly tries to do a much larger raise when the string is changed.

Sounds like these are not the same g ...

I can sort of relate in the opposite direction (with a cautionary tale?).

Thanks, Larry.

To all who ave pulled a changer on this earlier model Excel: I have the E9 changer out, and the axle is completely stuck into the 10th string side bracket. I assume it is supposed to ...

Well, I trust I will be able to get the metal ones from Mitsuo. Thanks for all the info, Larry.

Thanks, Larry.

Lynn: Yes, that's what I would like to do--convert it to something like the old MSA and Dekley system. Am I correct that Excel now uses the metal barrels to secure the rod at the be ...

Larry: were did you find the stainless steel threaded spacers in the right size? I have an email in to Excel, but in the meantime thought I'd look into making my own as well.

I took delivery of this very nice Excel D-10 today, purchased from Mike and Mike's Guitar Bar in Seattle (who did a first-class job of packing and shipping, by the way!) I've never had my hands on an ...

I've looked at that several times. I wonder why there is no picture of the front, only a close-in of a peeling Sho-Bud decal (which should be under the lacquer finish, so a concern). A Pro-III proba ...

Going to Tommy! Please close.
